Summer Program Guide
July—August 2017
Please consider sharing this Summer 2017 Program Guide with a friend rather
than taking one for each of you. The money saved goes directly back into our
programming. Thank you for doing your part to help SEESA direct our funds
to the programs you support.
Each copy of
this guide costs
approximately
$2 to produce.

Summer Session Registration begins on June 5, 2017
Membership:
Available for people 55 years of age and older. Associate Membership (under 55 years of age) may
be granted.
$30 per calendar year (January - December).
SEESA members receive priority at time of class registration.
Membership to another Edmonton seniors centre allows you to register at our member rate. Non-
SEESA and Associate Members will be put on a waiting list until SEESA members have registered.
Class Registration
Summer Registration begins on June 5, 2017 at our Front Desk and will continue until the class start
date.
Registration by telephone is accepted with Visa or MasterCard and is subject to a non-refundable $2
service charge.
You are not considered registered for the class until you pay. We accept cash, cheques, debit card,
Visa or Mastercard.
Classes may be cancelled or altered if minimums are not met. Participants will be called if a class is
cancelled and fees will be fully refunded. If the Activity Liaison or instructor cancels, every attempt
will be made to notify participants with as much notice as possible. Your use of MySeniorCenter will
assist us with this task.
Drop In will be offered for the summer Programming.. You MUST pay at the Front Desk BEFORE
heading to the class. You will show your receipt to the instructor who will record the receipt number
on the attendance sheet. This will ensure that all drop in attendance is paid for and tracked.
Refunds will not be issued to any participant who withdraws from a program of their own volition.
Club Fees:
SEESA Memberships are required to participate in drop-in club activities.
Some clubs have an extra fee to help offset the cost of equipment replacement and upkeep, choir
sheet music, prizes or photocopies. This is in addition to the Drop In usage fee. Check with your
activity Liaison for details.
Liability:
SEESA is not responsible for any physical injuries that may occur during any of its programs. All participants must
sign a waiver form and provide emergency contact information. Participants must be able to independently
participate in the class unless they bring their own caregivers. Caregivers do not need to pay for the class if they
are providing assistance to a participant and not participating themselves.
NOTE: SEESA will be performing our annual floor stripping and waxing from August 20-September 1 inclusive.
Clubs may be disrupted for this purpose, especially those in the Gymnasium. We will give you as much notice as
possible if your Club is affected by any cancellations due to the floor maintenance project.
Interested in taking one of our instructional courses, but you’re not a SEESA member? If you have a
valid membership to one of the seniors centres which allow reciprocal program registration, you’re
welcome to register in our instructional courses at our member rate.
Visit www.seniorscouncil.net/rpr or inquire at our front desk to learn more.

With all the activities going on at SEESA it’s hard to know what Class to take or which Club to
belong to. We know we want to be involved and that there are a variety of
programs to choose from, but sometimes we just don’t understand the
difference in the programs we have signed up for.
But what is the difference between Art Class and Art Club?
How about music lessons? Why do I have to pay for 12 weeks of classes to take fiddle
but I only have to pay a $2 drop in fee for Guitar and Music Makers?
How do I know whether I’m registering for a Class or a Club?
Do I have to register and pay the 12 week fee to play cards?
These are some of the Programming questions our Members have.
It’s really not that hard when you know the difference.
Classes require an Instructor and members need to register for each class
they take. The Instructor charges SEESA a set fee to come in and teach our
members a new skill. They are qualified in their trade and have special
skills that allow them to lead a class that results in members acquiring a
set goal. SEESA in return charges our members a set hourly fee to
cover the cost of the instructors for the class they offer. Some classes
make enough money to cover the cost of instruction and some don’t. Either
way the cost is the same to all of our registrants no matter which Class they
choose to take. Early Bird pricing refers to those who pay prior to the day the class
starts. Regular pricing applies to those who pay the day the class starts and beyond.
Clubs on the other hand are created for fun and socializing. They are run by
our Members who become the Club Activity Liaison. Members who join a
Club don’t need to formally register but instead pay $2 every time they
want to drop into a Club activity. Clubs usually run all year long rather
than having specific time frames. Clubs don’t have an instructor—they
are self run and self taught.
If you would like to have instruction in a Class
not offered, or would like to start a Club that
has not been thought of, please see the
Program Manager with your suggestions. We
are always striving to bring new and exciting
Programs to SEESA!

SEESA Library The John Sandercock Library is a borrowing library where members may borrow books or puzzles to

desk for refiling.
The Library is open the same hours as the centre for members who wish to enjoy some quiet time. It
is sometimes booked for Outreach services Monday afternoons, Thursdays and Fridays from 11 to
